The bodywork, personalized self-care protocol development, intuitive healing sessions and workshops I offer bridge spiritually-based global-ancient-healing-traditions with modern science. I cultivate an integrative and restorative practice from the roots of Ayurveda - with a focus on aligning the unique subtle energies of the mind, body and spirit of the individual to the natural rhythms of our planet and universe.

Personal evolution is essential for whole-being wellness. A daily practice of self-love (Sadhana) can be transformative. I believe self-care rituals are a direct route to self-love and serve as a practice of surrender to the gentle divine knowledge within. Nurturance of this connection allows us to trust our guiding intuition and activate our innate healing energy to move with grace in the process of life. It’s with this philosophy that I grow individualized sessions and well-being tools for each client. 

My journey in this life has taken me places from journalism in Europe to an apprenticeship and spiritual training at an Ashram. I believe it is important to blend the many aspects of ourselves and dig deep for the truths that guide us. I'm honored to have had the experiences that have brought me to this moment - the dark and the light. As we balance the dualities of life - pure consciousness and matter, negative and positive polarities, yin and yang, etc. - we find the optimum well-being, creativity and prana flow. All elements of life hold information, we can learn how to process it and move into our higher consciousness.

In addition to the bodywork and intuitive sessions, I also offer workshops on Ayurvedic self-care rituals of Dinacharya and personal transformation. I'm a freelance well-being writer/editor and offer energy clearing and brightening for people, places and things of importance. 

Peace, love & gratitude,
